It is disrespectful to enter alliance raids without watching a guide.

In Eastern societies like Japan, people do not want to disappoint their teammates. Therefore, they spend the time doing research, making sure that they know their rotations and the mechanics, and enter an alliance raid knowing the mechanics.

Unfortunately, it seems that many players in NA and EU do not care about other people’s time. The common sentiment is that:



This is you putting your own enjoyment over 7 other people’s enjoyment. It is what an individualistic and selfish culture promotes. Unfortunately, this will never change because it’s engrained in Western culture.

Actually on JP servers people will wait for you to learn the mechanics.
Nobody expects you to be a top tier 1% raider that knows everything in the game.

The only people who push for you to go watch videos and know everything before stepping in are the toxic players that should be making speedrun parties if they don't wait to play with other people.

Alliance raids are casual content.

I originally created this recipe for my WoW character's cookbook. It's really good!

Broke = Watching a guide for casual content
Woke = Watching a guide for savage+ content

Broke = Watching a guide for casual content
Woke = Watching a guide for savage+ content

well, removing the stuff that is not worth mentioning in the OP initial text, i think there is an easy solution for that.

Some people LIKE to enter hard content blindly. Like, to see "what happens, how and when I die, how to avoid after some tries, etc, etc..." There is a lot of excitement for those people.

And there are that many people who value more their time and focus to have things done. For those, to watch tutorials is mandatory.

So, the solution is: make your own group (static) to go through such contents. Bring people like you to learn from try and error or to watch and study/practice every single step insde a fight.

To avoid frustations you have to learn from reality (what are the types of players about hard contents). And by avoiding to try to make everyone to be like you are.
Just find people akin to your playstyle and go with them.

if its a roulettes raid will just run and tear it up but if its savage then study up and be ready.

No thanks i love seeing people dying on basic mechanic, it boost my casual player ego !

So once new content comes out we will all wait for SE to publish a video guide for it, right. We wouldn't want our beloved streamers and youtubers to be disrepectful and go blind into any sort on new things, right? Learning is only for mortals anyways, right?
